The other colors that are marked in khwaahish are metallic grays, indigo, and pinks going into purples. Fashion's favorite color black also features in the collection while metallics add a touch of classical grace and the result is beautifully modern.
French chiffons, satins, brocades, raw silks, faux leather, Chantilly lace and Benarasi silk georgettes are the designer's fabrics for the season.
Maheka's creations pay homage to forties glamour with a studied elegance. Styled with grace and class, and translated into very feminine styles, the silhouettes are large, often with royal volume and almost with a couture-like, aristocratic and majestic allure.
Hemlines slip way below the knees, while the necklines are the designer's playground. Off-shoulders, strapless, sleeveless or cap sleeved ensembles create excitement while innovative backs in dresses and sari blouses add to the drama of Khwaahish.
Khwaahish manifests itself in the shape of flowing goddess-like Anarkali kurtas. Contrasted with tight breast, these silhouettes are beautiful and elegant and also very comfortable.
Loose billowy dresses with flowing fabric create a dreamy quality and the long dresses from bust-line to way below the knee makes for a comforting silhouette. The empire-line dress from Maheka's Khwaahish strikes a fashionable cord.
Elegant sherwanis and the classic trench coat are other influences that show up in Maheka's khwaahish. Chantilly lace and velour appliquéd saris are teamed with choli style blouses, corsets and low back chained blouses.
Lehengas from Maheka's khwaahish offer a fresh look with a fitted bodice and flared hemline skirts. Mermaid hemlines, fish tail skirts and paneled flowy lehengas also feature in the designer's collection.
Maheka says, “With Khwaahish I have created a luxurious & sophisticated look. The garments are more pulled together, less glitz but definitely more glamour. The mood is more classic and elegant.”
Elegance, sophistication, voguish, chic and a different kind of luxury sum up Maheka Mirpuri's Khwaahish.
